44. It's not a rare phenomenon

Other aggregators do the selfsame thing. Alternet, for one. Talking Points Memo does it, to a lesser extent.

But we do not see repeated complaints about those, or any other outlets.

So I'm still wondering what the specific beef is with Rawstory.

And I'm still not clear what the big problem is as long as the material is properly attributed.

Rawstory never does more than a capsule summary. If you want the whole story, you have to click through to the source. So (except in this particular instance, I guess) Rawstory is driving traffic to the original sources.
